Why we publish our cleaning rates
Many cleaning companies keep their pricing hidden. They try to guide you into a phone consultation or sales pitch before revealing the cost.
The Montreal Cleaners takes a different approach: we believe in full pricing transparency. Knowing the cost range upfront helps you plan and make informed decisions. The rates displayed below reflect our actual active contracts across the Greater Montreal area.
🏠 Residential cleaning pricing
Our residential rates cover regular recurring cleaning (weekly or biweekly visits) as well as one-time deep cleaning services. Each rate details typical crew sizes and durations to help you choose.
Current rates for regular residential cleaning in Montreal and surrounding suburbs. Final pricing is based on the home’s layout, number of bathrooms, pets, and overall upkeep level.
🏢 Commercial office cleaning pricing
Our commercial janitorial rates cover offices, corporate buildings, medical clinics, retail stores, daycares, and common areas.
Standard rates for weekly janitorial contracts. High-frequency daily cleaning schedules qualify for lower per-visit pricing. Clinic, daycare, and fitness facility pricing may vary based on mandatory disinfection protocols.

📍 Regional rates: Montreal vs Laval vs Longueuil
Our base rates are identical across all municipal sectors. We apply the same pricing structure whether you are in Downtown Montreal, Chomedey (Laval), Brossard, or Longueuil.
However, minor rate adjustments may apply due to the following localized operational factors:
- Parking & Building Access: Commercial zones in Old Montreal or high-rise condos without dedicated loading docks may incur minor adjustments.
- Work Hours: Evening, night, or weekend shifts required by office managers to prevent workflow disruptions.
- Travel Distance: Interventions in outer boundary areas (such as Mirabel, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, or far Repentigny).
💡 What influences your cleaning estimate
- Total Square Footage: The actual dimensions of the cleanable floor space.
- Level of Build-up: First-time visits or spaces vacant for long periods require more initial labor.
- Cleaning Frequency: More frequent cleanings (weekly or bi-weekly) unlock significantly lower per-visit rates.
- Specialty Surfaces: Care requirements for natural marble, unsealed stone, or delicate heritage hardwood flooring.
- Pets: Homes with heavy shedding pets require extra time for fiber and upholstery hair extraction.
- Custom Add-ons: Oven interiors, refrigerator interiors, and window tracking services.

❓ Frequently asked pricing questions
Do the rates include taxes?
The displayed rates do not include taxes. Standard Quebec service tax policies (5% GST and 9.975% QST) are calculated and added to the final invoice.
Is there a minimum contract duration?
No. You are welcome to book one-off deep cleans or spring cleanings without any recurring commitment. However, choosing a regular maintenance schedule (weekly or bi-weekly) unlocks lower per-visit pricing.
What payment options do you support?
We accept major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), Interac e-transfers, cheques, and bank transfers. Recurring commercial accounts are invoiced monthly on a standard Net 30 terms structure.
Are cleaning services eligible for tax credits?
Yes. Quebec residents aged 70 or older may qualify for the Tax Credit for Home Support Services for Seniors. We provide compliant service invoices featuring our NEQ (Quebec Enterprise Number) to assist with your claim.
Hourly rates vs. flat rates: which is better?
Hourly billing is ideal for custom check-lists or variable cleaning tasks. Flat-rate pricing provides budget predictability and is highly recommended for recurring office or residential services.
Can I adjust my booking schedule?
Yes. You can suspend, reschedule, or cancel a visit. We request at least 24 hours’ notice before your cleaner’s scheduled arrival to avoid any cancellation fees.
Why are your rates different from independent cleaners?
Our pricing falls directly within the competitive average for a fully professional, registered agency. Unlike independent operators, we carry extensive liability insurance, pay complete CNESST protections, use certified eco-friendly supplies, and guarantee that a background-checked team member will always show up.
What is your pricing policy for small studios?
For spaces under 500 sq ft, we have a base floor rate of $80 per visit. This covers logistics, transit costs, and the cleaning team’s 1.5 to 2-hour minimum service duration.
What is the rate for a housekeeper in Montreal?
For a housekeeper performing regular weekly or bi-weekly home maintenance, rates average $25 to $45 per hour. While basic hourly rates are stable, the overall quote depends on layout size, frequency, and whether you require additional housekeeping tasks like laundry or organizing. We recommend an initial home consultation to establish a fixed, predictable rate sheet.
